KB swing. You thought I was gonna say heatstroke, didn't you? Wrong.
Death by KB swing=
1 KB swing in the 1st minute
2KB swings in the 2nd minute
3 in the 3rd and so on until you can't complete any more in a minute.
I got to 13, using a 30lb KB. The thing is, you know that you're going to get to round 10 (or so) and it's going to blow, but there's nothing you can do to stop it. So it just blows for a little and then just a few short rounds later, your body says "fuck you" and it quits. Taadaa, the end.
That description is more melodramatic than how it actually plays out, but I shall invoke poetic license and type what I choose. Anyway, at round 13, I had to take a break. I finished up swings 12 and 13 just as the minute was running out and had to start right in on 14, which I didn't do. I needed a breather. By the time minute 14 was up, I had only gotten 6. Not a full round. Partials don't count.
It was only 98 degrees when I got back in my car and my legs were sliding all over the leather seats. Kinda nasty, but hey, it's leather, you wipe them off and continue on your merry way. And no, you don't wipe off your legs, just the seats. Evaporation is a cooling process, make it work to your advantage.
